Brazil: Rio Governor Says Armed Forces Can Shoot to Kill
--------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile in Rio, human rights advocates are sounding alarm bells after
the new governor, Wilson Witzel, said Thursday that city security forces
were authorized to shoot to kill suspects. Later on, he said Rio should
have its own Guantánamo Bay to house criminals, whom he labeled
"terrorists."
